What's on my reading list this week? J.R. Lindermuth's Fallen From Grace

A few months ago, I finished reading an epic thriller that set me on the edge of my seat.  Being Someone Else held me captive until the very last page, and I couldn't get enough of some truly fascinating characters that seemed to burst from the pages.  I discovered an author, in the mean time, whose work I love.

J. R. Lindermuth is the author of nine novels, including four in the Sticks Hetrick mystery series set in a fictional rural community near Harrisburg, PA. A retired newspaper editor/writer, he is now librarian of his county's historical society where he assists patrons with research and genealogy. He has published stories and articles in a variety of magazines, both print and on line.

Excerpts from his novels, reviews and other information are available at http://jlind11.tripod.com and http://jrlindermuth.com

This week, J.R. Lindermuth's latest work, Fallen From Grace, is on my reading list. 
 
BLURB:
 
As the 19th century winds to a close, Sheriff Sylvester Tilghman of the small Pennsylvania town of Arahpot ponders his biggest problems: finding a new deputy and convincing his true love, Lydia, to marry him. But an early autumn day finds Arahpot's usual tranquility shaken when a stranger is fatally stabbed.Upon seeing the victim, Tilghman recalls witnessing a strained encounter between him and Valentine Deibert, an obese man with a wife half his age who had recently moved to Arahpot. The sheriff questions Deibert who denies knowing the victim.Tilgman is unconvinced, but lacks a connection until the widow arrives in Arahpot. Suddenly Sylvester is plunged into investigating two murders. As he works through an abundance of motivated suspects, Tilghman finds himself in danger. And worse — Lydia is pushing her obnoxious cousin as a candidate for deputy.
